Masterpiece

This film is about a spoken word poem by Sarah Goltsman titled "Masterpiece." The poem itself deals with the themes of women's rights and suffrage as well as the too-common occurrence of sexual harassment and abuse. The central concept is that a woman's body often stops being her own, especially on college campuses. Throughout the reading of this piece, artwork and voices of other women of Nova Southeastern University are shown to promote the idea that women are more than just their bodies. They are their minds, and that is not shaken by the hands of other people. With the current rate of 1 in 5 college women experiencing sexual assault, this message of togetherness and overcoming through artwork and unity is incredibly relevant, especially in current times.
